WORLD TEAM TENNIS

Players and teams from 3.0 to 4.0 level are needed for the summer 2019 outdoor at Dwight Davis starting in April. The indoor season at CAC, Forest Lake, Vetta Concord, Vetta West, and St. Clair starts again in September. A team is at least two men, two women. You must be 18 or older. World Team Tennis leagues consist of at least four teams. The format consists of six no-ad sets played on two courts: men’s and women’s doubles, men’s and women’s singles, and two sets of mixed doubles. A match is won by the team with the most total games won at the end of the final set. Local league winners go on to a National Qualifier, and National Qualifier winners go on to the National Championships. Players of different levels can play on the same team as long as the average of the top two male players and top two female players is the same as the league level. For example, a 4.5 male player can play on a 4.0 team as long as the other man is a 3.5 and the two women are 4.0’s. A complete list of rules is available at www.wtt.com.
